If \(\frac{5x^2 + 65x + 60}{x^2 + 10x -24} = \frac{5x+5}{x-2}\), then which of the following could be the values of x?

\(5x^2 + 65x + 60 = 5(x^2+13x+12) = 5(x+1)(x+12)\)
\(x^2 + 10x - 24 = (x+12)(x-2)\)
\(\frac{5x^2 + 65x + 60 }{ x^2 + 10x -24} = \frac{5(x+1)(x+12) }{ (x+12)(x-2)} = \frac{5(x+1)}{(x-2)}\) with the condition x <>-12
x can not be 2 as it is a denominator

I. -37
II. -12
III. 2

(A) I only
(B) III only
(C) I and II only
(D) I and III only
(E) I, II, and III

IMO A
